Students learn to wash, label, catalog, photograph, conserve, research, archive and report on materials recovered from an important archaeological collection. Prerequisite: ANTH 101 or permission of instructor.
Principles of Biology II Lab
A laboratory course to accompany Principles of Biology II. Topics include plant and animal diversity as they relate to structure, function, adaptation and fundamental principles of evolution. Students will design and execute a series of their own experiments, then present their results orally and in writing. Prerequisite: BIOL 105, BIOL 105L. Co-requisite: BIOL 106.
Principles of Biology II
An introductory course on the structure, function, and diversity of plants and animals, with evolution as the unifying theme. Particular emphasis will be given to organisms’ interactions with and adaptations to their environment. Prerequisite: BIOL 105, BIOL 105L, Co-requisite: BIOL 106L.
Principles of Biology Lab I
A laboratory course to accompany Principles of Biology I. Topics include microscopy, spectrophotometry, enzymology, and microbiology. Students will design and execute their own experiments, then present their results orally and in writing. Co-requisite: BIOL 105.
Principles of Biology I
An introductory course on the organization and function of cells. Topics include biological chemistry, cell structure, membranes, metabolism, and fundamental molecular genetics. This course and BIOL 105L together satisfy the Core Exploration requirement in Natural Sciences with Laboratory. Co-requisite: BIOL 105L.
Contemporary Bioscience with Laboratory
An introductory biology course for students who desire an overview of biological concepts and contemporary issues in biology and environmental sciences. The scientific method as a way of knowing will be stressed. Sections of this course are topical, with topics drawn from ecology and environmental sciences, cell and molecular biology, evolution, human biology, and other areas of biology. This course is recommended to those students who do not plan to continue in the biological sciences. This course satisfies the Core Exploration requirement in the Natural Sciences with Laboratory.
Anthropology Toolkit
This course provides an introduction to the basic anthropological concepts and tools used by anthropologists to collect, analyze and interpret data; and to report findings in written, verbal and multimedia formats. Students begin to develop basic fieldwork skills such as taking field notes, genealogical and network analysis, survey research and collaborative ethnography. Students learn to use the electronic Human Relations Area Files and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Issues arising from anthropological fieldwork and ethics are discussed. Prerequisite: ANTH 101 or permission of instructor.
Introduction to Anthropology
This course provides an overview of anthropology’s approach to understanding humanity and the human condition from a holistic perspective. Students examine the four subfields of anthropology: archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology and cultural anthropology. Students learn how anthropology provides useful knowledge, perspectives and skills to better understand and meet contemporary challenges facing humanity. This course satisfies the Core Exploration requirement in Social and Behavioral Sciences.
